The Senators did some goalie shuffling before heading off to Columbus Tuesday afternoon.
Andrew Hammond was declared good to return from a groin injury that had sidelined him for the start of the season, meaning rookie Matt O’Connor was sent to the AHL affiliate in Binghamton.
Craig Anderson is expected to get the start Wednesday, when the 2-1-0 Senators take on the Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena.
Hammond, who led Ottawa to the playoffs last spring, said he’s been skating by himself for the last four or five days.
“We started slow, then kind of ramped it up and the last two days have kind of been full go,” he said.
